Cosmetic gum shaping in Cleveland, Tennessee, focuses on refining the gumline to enhance symmetry, proportion and visual harmony within the smile. At Magnolia Implants & General Dentistry, our team uses detailed imaging and diagnostic tools to evaluate the relationship between the gums, teeth and lips. This procedure targets uneven or excessive gum tissue to improve both aesthetics and balance without compromising periodontal health.
The process begins with a clinical assessment of gum height, thickness and biological width. These measurements help ensure that tissue modification supports both appearance and long-term stability. Our goal is to maintain healthy attachment levels while creating a more refined and proportionate frame around the teeth.
Conservative Tissue Recontouring and Planning
Our dentist will apply precise surgical techniques using soft-tissue lasers or specialized instruments designed to reshape the gumline with minimal discomfort and recovery time. Diagnostic photos and digital scans are used to determine the optimal contour and symmetry before any tissue removal occurs.
This approach can result in several key benefits:
- Improved balance between tooth and gum proportions
- Correction of asymmetrical or uneven gumlines
- Exposure of more natural tooth surface for aesthetic appeal
- Reduced appearance of a “gummy” smile
- Cleaner gingival margins for improved oral hygiene
Each treatment plan is customized to the patient’s facial features, tooth length and natural smile arc. Proper case selection and execution help preserve gingival health while enhancing the appearance of the entire dental framework.
